Agriculture and Tourism
August 15th, 2007
Despite the fact that Bali is ranked the most beautiful island worldwide every year, the government and Balinese community do not want to base their economy merely on the tourism sector. Rather, they prefer to choose the agricultural sector as the economic foundation of the region. This matter is discernible from the statistical figure indicating Balinese people predominantly (over 60%) persist with the dependence of their bread and butter on agricultural sector.
On the other hand, the economists of Bali invariably state the figure that 80% of Bali’s economy depends on tourism. However, in terms of labor force absorption, the agricultural sector remains dominant, far more than that of tourism sector.
As an island among the 17,000 belonging to Indonesia, the land of Bali suits to be overgrown by a variety of productive plants, ranging from paddy, coffee, vanilla, strawberry and other vegetables. Therefore, it is reasonable for the Balinese people to lean on the agricultural sector. Does the quality of Bali’s agricultural products remain less competitive than that of other countries? On that account, there are many agricultural enterprises developing and focusing on product quality like the utilization of organic fertilizer and so forth.
